(probably one of the only times I change POV)Percy.
I froze as I saw the girl that came out walking behind Nico.
She looked just like my mother, except for the fact that she has turquoise eyes instead of brown and was short. She froze when she saw us and I swear I could see the look my mother gives me when I tell her I have a quest or something else to worry her.
But she couldn't be my mother, or related. She looked younger than me and was the skinniest person I've ever seen. It made me question what she was doing traveling around with Nico.

Back to Adelaide.
"Buts that's-" Nico went on.
"Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and a couple of their monster friends."
My breathe hitched as I looked at Percy who was already staring at me. I couldn't comprehend what his look meant, but this was the dude Nico thought could've been my brother.
"Monster friends?" said the goat.
"That man is wearing three shirts." Said the cyclops.
" They let my sister die!" Nico voice trembled with rage. "They're here to kill me!"
At this pointed... I really wanted a sword or a knife.I hated feeling hopeless and having to rely on others.
"Nico we're not here to kill you". Said Percy while raising his hands. "What happened to Bianca was-""Don't speak her name! You're not worthy to even talk about her!" I felt like I was on a soap opera.
" Wait a minute. How do you know our names." Annabeth said.
Geryon winked and said. "I make it my business to keep informed darling, everyone pops into the ranch from time to time, now Mr.Di Angelo put that sword away before I have Eurytion take it from you."Nico grabbed my hand and put his sword away "If you come near us Percy, I'll summon help. You don't want to meet my helpers, I promise."
"I believe you." he said.
Nico leaned up and whispered, "Don't trust them, no matter what.""Fine but you have to explain everything later, don't give me that look, I've been following you around like a lost puppy and I don't like that." I answered while he glared.
Geryon walked up to us and put his hands on our shoulders, "There, we've all made nice. Now come along folks. I want to give a tour of the ranch."
Geryon had one of those train carts that people used in zoos and it was painted like a cow.
I went to sit in the middle when Nico said "No!"
"what?""Come over here. "
I mumbled, When did I get stuck following the grumpy kid around, and goat man heard me and laughed. Percy looked back at his friends laughter and smiled at me, something gleaming in his eye. I couldn't helped hearing goat man whisper, she smells like you, but I decided to ignore it.
I took a seat and Eurytion sat in between me and Nico. He pulled his hat over his eyes and looked like a cowboy taking a nap.
"Psst," I saidHe tipped his hat and said "did you want something?"
I looked down at his spiked club and said, "did you get that idea from Negan in the walking dead?"Percy and Goat man roared in laughter from the front.
"Aren't you too young to be watching the walking dead?"
"But not to young to learn to kill monsters?"Before he could reply, Geryon started speaking into a mic.
"We have a huge operation here, horses and cattle mostly, but all sorts of exotic varieties."We went over a hill and Annabeth gasped from the front. "Hippalektryons? I thought they were extinct!"
The hippalektryons were weird. They had the front end of a horse and the back end of a roaster.
"Rooster ponies," said the cyclops in amazement "do they lay eggs?"
"Once a year!" Geryon grinned. "Very much in demand for omelets!"
